Being able to filter these players out at a glance is a godsend, and perhaps it’ll make them rethink their actions. Online is further improved by the inclusion of a Fair Play Meter, showing you how often players rage quite before you accept a fight against them. Hopefully, with Guilty Gear Strive setting the precedent, Japanese fighting game developers will continue to include it as standard going forward. Online matches are lag-free, and inputs feel timely and accurate. King of Fighters XV is the first modern mainline game to boast rollback netcode and it’s a glorious thing to behold.

Most players will run through Story Mode the once and never return, and it’s the Versus modes, whether offline or online, where the majority of your time will be spent. When you’re seeing fighting game narratives from NetherRealm that genuinely have meaning and purpose it’s a big old disappointment. It falls into the ageing ‘big mystical being forcing us all to come together’ category, and it’s completely undone by allowing you to choose your own team, sticking together people who seemingly hate each other in the process. King of Fighters XV does lose some of its lustre when it comes to Story Mode. If you’ve put in time with SFIV you’ll feel immediately at home, and it slots into the action just fine, stirring the King of Fighters gameplay just enough to refresh it. You engage it with a quarter circle and a tap of the strong punch and kick buttons together, so it’s not only mechanically similar to Street Fighter IV’s Focus Attack, it’s physically similar too. The newest addition to this toolset is the Shatter Strike, a powerful counter move that you can fire off when you’re guarding. King of Fighters XV has a final layer heaped atop everything else, with elements like Hyper Hops, Emergency Evasions, and Guard Cancels giving you a few extra tools to surprise the unready with. Unlike the regular version it doesn’t amp up your attacks, but it’ll be interesting to see what players can do with it when they’ve put some time in. Alongside the boosted mode there’s now also Max Mode (Quick) that gives you a shorter window to work in, but lets you combo straight into your next attack without leaving an opening. Some tweaks have been made to MAX mode, but anyone coming from King of Fighters XIV should be able to adapt to the changes fairly quickly. They’ll give newcomers a leg up, but they won’t cause an issue for someone that knows what they’re doing. Those have been expanded too, with four different closing moves available depending on your fourth button input. The classic King of Fighters flow is present and correct though, and it just feels right, even if each character still has auto-combos to annoy the purists. If you’ve played any of the earlier titles, or indeed any fighting game in the history of ever, there’s not much in KoF XV’s move list that’ll truly surprise you. They work their way up from regular variants all the way up to the visually impressive, and downright destructive, Climax Super Special Moves. After that it’s onto each character’s special moves with quarter and half-circles sitting alongside the odd Z motion as well. There’s a host of tools at player’s disposal, starting with your plain old punches and kicks in both light and heavy varieties.

I’m sure we’d all prefer not to have DLC characters when they could, or should, be in the game already, but that’s not the world we live in, and if it keeps interest in the game going then it’s a price worth paying. King of Fighters XV’s roster makes for an impressive starting point, with six further characters set to appear as part of the first team-pass DLC, delighting fans of Garou: Mark of the Wolves in the process. I’m expecting him to be someone I enjoy beating up online. His morphing T2/Doc Ock arm makes things a bit more interesting though.

I’m not as sold on Krohnen McDougall, falling into a goggle-toting, slightly generic character-design hole from the PS2 era. Her mystical holy sand attacks are powerful and effective, though they can occasionally look a little cheap. The beginner-friendly Isla may look like she’s escaped from Ninja Theory’s Bleeding Edge, but her spray-can throwing mystical hands make her a dangerous opponent at mid-range.ĭelores meanwhile is an African hermit who looks as though she’s shopped at the Bayonetta boutique for dangerous women. The newcomers will be the first port of call for a lot of returning fans, and they’re a pretty cool bunch.

all-star Terry Bogard – I love that this is where some people will recognise him from – along with the rest of the Fatal Fury crew, while series stalwarts like Ryo and Iori are also present and correct.
